Get A Mortgage With Bad Credit
In the old days if your credit history was less than perfect, the only mortgage you would be offered would be one with extortionate interest rates from a shady broker.
Nowadays, there are more sympathetic lenders who will offer you a bad credit mortgage without charging you sky-high interest charges. And because there are more lenders out there now offering these non-standard mortgages, it has driven the interest rates on them down which is good news!
The term ‘Bad credit’ can be anything from County Court Judgements (CCJ’s) on your credit file to something like having missed a mobile ‘phone payment or made a few mortgage payments late.
More and more people now have a ‘bad’ credit file. Rising inflation and credit companies making it easier for people to borrow means that just because you have a bad credit file, you are not rubbish with money!
So, what can you do to get a mortgage, without being ripped off by greedy lenders?
First of all, if you are considering using a mortgage for debt consolidation, do bear in mind that it will probably cost you more in interest in the long run. And also the debt will be secured against your home, so you must really ensure that it is affordable to you.
And when it comes to choosing a mortgage, do not apply for the first mortgage that you see. TV adverts saying that they can help people with bad credit are all very well – but many of them charge as much as a 3% fee to arrange a sub-prime mortgage. So, on a £150,000 mortgage, they get £4,500!
Get independent advice from an independent mortgage specialist as well as doing your own research. ‘Bad credit’ no longer has the financial stigma it used to, so hold out for the right deal for you.
